“This book is important for the existence and survival of Joseph Pilates intention in the world.”

~Lara Kolesar, Master Pilates Teacher

“It is minds like Calderone’s mind that will help speed up the day, where a critical mass will embrace a peaceful and balanced state between mind, body and spirit hastening the shift in our worlds paradigm from one of anger to one of love.”

“Gary asks the right questions, inviting us to think outside the box about living a balanced life through the practice of Pilates. He masterfully unlocks the essence of Pilates’ greatest secret - why and how Pilates profoundly impacts both student and teacher, weaving threads from other disciplines to confirm their universal connection. He illuminates the truth about how choices for our inner health are mirrored in the manifestation of our outer experience, thereby strengthening global consciousness. Truly inspiring!”

“Gary Calderone’s new book The Pilates Path to Health,Body,Mind,and Spirit has made me more excited than ever about this wonderful work that I practice and teach. He breathes new life into Joseph Pilates’ own book, Return to Life,and gives the reader the perspective to appreciate the gift and potential impact of Contrology that was given to the world.”

“Anyone who has had the opportunity to read this work will find themselves eagerly awaiting their next Pilates session. I myself feel more ‘anchored into my bones, the earth, and my life’ just having read the manuscript."

“I am thrilled to see how far this manuscript has come. It has become very readable and I am confident that it will be well received. There is a fine line between describing the benefit of Pilates in a way that is grounded in examples and explanation, and advertising for Pilates. I think there might be a little crossover happening at times, but overall, Good Job!

“The Pilates Path to Health: Body, Mind, and Spirit by Gary Calderone is a timely contribution to literature in the Health, Fitness and Wellness industry. Gary’s ability to present the material in a reader-friendly format with compelling evidence intertwined should be applauded.

Our industry is consistently seeking new models for the delivery of integrated and results-focused initiatives that provide for the healthy lifestyles and outcomes of our clients. The Pilates approach to health truly focuses on awareness, choice and results. As an industry leader I believe this book will add value to the industry understanding of Pilates and its multifaceted benefits.“Gary’s writing illustrates his passion for why he and others practice and teach Pilates. The Pilates Path to Health provides evidence of the restorative health benefits for those who consciously choose the Pilates Method.”

“Gary’s writing strongly reinforces an ongoing mantra of mine that there is much-too-much wisdom, insight and potential in Joseph’s teaching that is quickly being diluted and glossed over. As we move another generation away from the elders it is more important than ever that we take the time and attention to teach our clients and mentor the new instructors how to receive ‘the priceless gift of physical well-being, mental calm, and spiritual peace’ through mindful Pilates practice.”
